Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "Assess application of strategic wildfire and fuel treatment analysis to national program decision support ph 1" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00203) is a discretionary funding action to be issued as a cooperative agreement focused on natural resources management. The core purpose is to support Phase 1 of an effort that looks at how strategic wildfire and fuel treatment analysis can be applied to strengthen decision support at the national program level. In practical terms, this kind of work typically involves evaluating analytical methods and planning tools that help land management agencies prioritize where fuels treatments and other risk-reduction actions would be most effective, and how those priorities can be integrated into program-wide decision frameworks.
This notice is not an open competition and is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award. The NPS states that the award will be made through a task agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative research partnership mechanism used by the Department of the Interior and other federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on applied science and technical assistance projects. The justification for the noncompetitive approach is tied to Department of the Interior policy, specifically 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which governs circumstances under which noncompetitive financial assistance awards may be appropriate.
The opportunity indicates an expected number of awards of one, with Colorado State University identified as the sole recipient. The announcement also clarifies eligibility by stating that it is not a request for applications, meaning other organizations are not being solicited to apply and no competitive proposal review is anticipated. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, and the estimated total funding amount is $100,000. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in older listings when the system field is not used to express a defined cap/floor even though an estimated total funding amount is provided elsewhere in the notice.
Key administrative details include the posting and creation date of April 12, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 17, 2013, and an archive date of May 17, 2013. The CFDA listing includes 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The contact provided for access issues with the full announcement is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392. Overall, this listing functions primarily as a public transparency notice that NPS intends to fund a specific partner through the CESU framework for an initial phase of work on national-level wildfire and fuels treatment decision-support analysis rather than as a competitive funding opportunity.
